Description

Application

Zotepine has been used as an anti-psychotic agent:

• in biophysical studies with serotonin 2A receptor (5-HT_2AR)[1]
• to study its effects on the inhibition of human organic cation transporter 1 (hOCT1)[2]
• to study its protective effects on the human embryonic kidney (HEK cells)[3]

Biochem/physiol Actions
